Violet had already lost hope from her relatives.

When Violet joined Ishe Anesu Project in 2000 it was a dream come true. Violet could not believe the type of attention she received from the Project. She was welcomed, hugged, loved, fed, clothed, educated and given as much support as she needed and she was welcome and made her feel at home. She used to say ?I have never known that there are people who can real share their love until I joined Ishe Anesu Project? where she is treated with tender loving care just like own child where her needs were met.
